Edition of 100. "Piano Gaucho carefully develops Bob Bellerues tonal infatuation with rendering the piano into a demonic ingress. The piano functions as an essential frame for amps, speakers, mics, pickups, pedals, laptop, and guts to negotiate and re-evaluate the fated instrument into a much more heinous sonic source.Bellerues experiments with the instrument mark time slowly against a rotating core of oscillating feedback — a cold, gradual pace that proceeds solemnly. Fascinated with the suspended tension of the piano strings, the pieces deliberate pace casts long, shadowy passages of sound — forgoing any rhythmic brutalism in favor of an anxiety that evolves within long intervals of empty space. The exorcised tones breed within these open expanses. Recalling the grim work of bass experimentalists such asStephen OMalley or blackened Scandinavian film scores — and all the images contained therein — Bellerue roots the instrumental role of the piano firmly within this space. A wicked piano music is revealed; his commitment to instruments sinister potential is total." - Nick Scavo.

Sold out at source. “The newest effort from Facialmess is an exercise in precision industrial noise that provides all the punches you have come to expect from the project, while growing horns in new directions. On "You Trip Me Up" Sanderson shows restraint and carefully builds environments that have only been alluded to with previous efforts. Taking a dive into deep ambience and heavy industrial grooves Facialmess pushes all angles further than ever before while still maintaining intensity. The attention to detail in his cold, calculated edits creates compositions that build to climax rather than unfurling a constant barrage of cuts and blasts. An essential release for any fan of modern concrete.” - Justin Lakes.

"Images of despair, romance, loneliness (love) as concepts in modern electronics can emerge rarely, if so can seem daunting (forced). Madison, Wisconsin based artist Samantha Glass personal works, on the contrary, have through the decade planted human emotion and now truly blossomed as "Introducing the Confession". Much like a "Pelléas et Mélisande" (more like a "Garlands") these heartstrings pull naturally toying with thoughts of fate, gender, interaction. Devereaux weaves gothic march songsmithing with signature dark ambience and sound collage seamlessly. One of my favorite pieces. This is the introduction." - Collin Gorman Weiland. Shinjuku, Tokyo. Edition of 100.

"The latest work from composer Sarah Hennies is percussion in the sense that a contemporary definition of “percussion” has the potential to include almost anything that isnt already defined as some other instrument (cello, piano, clarinet, etc.). Hennies draws parallels between queer identities and being a percussionist in that both are most often defined by what they are not.
The two sides of the tape are 20-minute blocks of sound/activity seemingly without direction. A-side “Falsetto” is for “low-quality” bells found at thrift stores and flea markets while the title track explores a harder-to-define space. Edition of 200" - No Rent.

"NRR is proud to release Chinese experimental pioneer Yan Juns new album europe. Recorded in Germany during an artist residency at daad; his pure feedback predates the projected stoicism of certain types of American noise by presenting sounds that can rightly be called extreme without any hint of aggression. (check this live video for evidence)
After all is said and despite the overall seriousness of the proceedings Yan seems like someone youd like to have drinks with.
An example of pure sound." - No Rent.

"Today I think its always worth fighting against the spectacle machine: media, entertainment, mass will, political drama, etc. In the past I fought against it with the Declaration. Today I fight against it by avoiding all kinds of declarations, since I have to end the logic of the dramatic illusion - which is the only thing you get from movements today." - Yan Jun, 2011.

"The latest of the many names used by Frans de Waard. A much more dynamic approach to sound, using very low end electronics, walkmans, and high end sound effects. As Modelbau he has played concerts in The Netherlands and Germany and released cassettes for Barreuh, Maneki Neko and Bookend Recordings as well as KormDigitaal. Live, he reaches for the super loud and the super quiet.
"Lifeboat" was recorded when preparing for his Spring 2016 Germany/The Netherlands tour, and works out ideas that were implemented in the live set, but expanded here into two fifteen minute compositions of minimal bliss.
For fans of zoviet*france!" - No Rent.

Edition of 100. "Purgist is Dawid Kowalski(Sleep Sessions) of Kielce, Poland. The project began in 2013, and has a broader scope than previous projects of Kowalskis, being the first endeavor that he has toured behind internationally. This is the first American release of a Purgist tape." - No Rent.
"Dynamically, Secret Habit deals in absolutes, performative guilt juxtaposed against personal atonement. Catholic overtones, sonically confessional. I listened to this in my office last week while reading internet erotica. Excellent cut-up noise release." -Rose Actor-Engel.

Edition of 100. “a completely unspecified place, no different from anywhere else,
you receive an envelope. Upon inspection you find that the envelope contains a specific
number of other number of envelopes
conspicuous material that suggest previous activity which articulates some form of severance.” - KRISSY / TABOO.

"On Matthew Reverts new album Illness Seminars, one enters a space where accumulations of sound cluster around you, seemingly absolute and meaningful as you experience them, only to disappear as you proceed. The particular environment one is in might be a bar where people have refused to be quiet for the band and so the band refuses to actually play, and so one goes outside, comes back in, goes to the john, goes to the bar, has a drink, has a drink. No matter what, the listener has a sense that they and their choices are responsible for what is occurring on the tape. You cannot deny your responsibility. In this environment sound can be understood almost statistically, with location and frequency of occurrence denoting just how ill you really are." - Gabi Losoncy. Mastered by Jason Lescalleet. Edition of 100.

Edition of 100. “Adult Contemporary is a swarm of hands fighting to hold moments before they slip away into half-remembered histories. In the layer upon layer upon layer of sound exists a dialogue with the passage of time that is as impassioned as it is funny and discomforting.
Rossetto captures fragments of world and stitches them together into the song it demands.” - No Rent. Designed by Matthew Revert, mastered by Jason Lescalleet.

"New breed of Americanoise by way of Philadelphia. Rachel Slurr (of Heavens Gate) gives us that low end crunch destruction and machine gun chug, that distort rumble devotees know and love so well. Full of constantly changing blown out textures that slither over a fucked out bed of distortion. Nasty tones for nasty people." - Rodger Stella.

"Yureka Cashs debut release is a glib and pedantic fagathon that falls short of the pretentious 1980s bedroom genre it so longs to be. For fans of German Shepherds and Club Moral.Edition of 100" - No Rent.
